Top 10 YouTube Videos of All Time
YouTube has come to define the era of online video, so let's take a look at their most popular videos of all time. We first did this list in August 2007, at which point Evolution of Dance by comedian Judson Laipply was number 1 with nearly 56 million views. The next update was September 2008, when Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend pop music video was number 1 with 103 million page views (although commenters argued it may have gamed the system).
How is Evolution of Dance doing now, given the influx of pop music and movie videos into YouTube? Not to mention all of those goofy comedic routines by teenagers and cutesy baby or animal videos. Let's check out the top YouTube videos of all time, as it stands today...
1. Charlie bit my finger - again !; 148,757,751 views
2. Evolution of Dance; 134,412,139 views
3. Miley Cyrus - 7 Things - Official Music Video (HQ); 108,577,069 views
4. Jeff Dunham - Achmed the Dead Terrorist; 104,013,553 views
5. Hahaha - Small daring boy; 103,262,937 views
6. Lo que tú Quieras Oír; 99,291,111 views
7. Pitbull - I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho); 92,408,735 views
8. Susan Boyle - Singer - Britains Got Talent 2009; 85,126,780 views
Note: This video has been labeled "Embedding disabled by request" on YouTube, but we've embedded it below via Dailymotion:
9. Timbaland - Apologize (feat. One Republic); 81,299,096 views
10. Vanessa Hudgens Say Ok Music Video (Official with Zac Efron); 78,684,446 views
Update: Originally this post had Hari's comedy act at number 1 with 186,361,277 views. There was a suggestion at the time that it may have been a hack or a glitch. Then a couple of days after publication, YouTube listed this video at 128,712 views only. So it seems that it was listed at number 1 in error, therefore we have updated this post accordingly.

Ummm I think #1 might have been hacked.
Check views vs ratings ... I do not think it is hacked, I'm sure it is hacked.
Steven, I've posted a video response I found. You may be right...
It could just be a glitch rather than a hack: http://pinoytutorial.com/bestandworst/youtube-hacked-79-billion-views
Why give a link to a poorly produced, racist response video that is hardly evidence? I expected better from RWW.
I can't belive "Jeff Dunham" is still in the Top10 Videos :-) I think he made it last year and the year before with the same clip. "Evolution of Dance" is also going well over time!
I missed all of them and what did I really miss. No offense. LOL
Jen, I agree it was offensive - as I wrote "...it contains no strong evidence and is also racially offensive at the end."
Despite that I thought the response had some good points though (i.e. lack of comments on Hari video and low ratings). So I think the number 1 ranking is suspicious for those reasons, and YouTube should investigate it.

I just watched the funniest video ... as good as jeff dunham and only 4 minutes long ... ray stevens/obamacare enjoy!
I've enjoyed youTube for the longest time, you can always find something to amuse you there.
I've just been watching a series of videos about crazy men who have been jumping off the tallest building in the world (the Burq Dubai or the Burq Khalifa as it is now called. these guys wear what's called a "wing suit". I never realized there were so many suicidal nut cases in the world. But after watching YouTube, I realize they're not such a rarity. And the Susan Boyle video - well it spread her fame around the world. YouTube is very useful.
#1 is hack for sure! Check the no. of views. Its constant at 186,361,277 views
u are all gay

How was this list created? Rihanna's "Don't Stop the Music" is currently nearly 108M views, which would put it at number 4.

I like youtube videos.I've enjoyed youTube for the longest time, you can always find something to amuse you there
Despite of the gazillion traffic, I wonder why YouTube is still being reported low in advertising revenues... just a fraction of Google’s net revenue within a year.
hi i thick it deserves it.really
Hacked? How could you say it's hacked? It's true and that was taken by my friend's video cam.
Thanks for this post... nice flash back

Nothing special
I think #1 is correct. It is only 56 sec long. I just watched it 6 times so im sure that is why it has so many views. I like it alot.
These are some really funny videos, definitely my ten also. The number one and number five crack me up every time I see it. The other few which are music videos should not count because you can watch that on television but the laughing baby you cannot unless you actually have a laughing baby =)
I saw the first one on America's Funniest Home videos.
Miley Cyrus looks like she's going to have a short, rocky career ahead of her...
These are some really funny videos, definitely my ten also. The number one and number five crack me up every time I see it.
Thanks for this funny article. Best regards.
